Super 8 tutorial



Hello again guys, I'm here today with another tutorial, this is one of the longest ones I've done so far but its quite simple and useful if you ever want archive footage for a film or documentary. This edit has be very useful to me, I am currently producing a documentary and this edit is just perfect for creating "archive" footage and I never realised how simple it is. Hopefully it'll be useful to you one day.


  • Upload a video of your choice and drag it on to your timeline. 
  • The next thing you do is you click on your video and got to Effects> video effects> Gaussian blur and drag it on to your video on the timeline. 
  • Go to Effects control and increase the 'Blurriness', (I increased it to 2 but you can increase by however much you want)
  • Once that is done, go to Effects and type i 'noise' and it should pop up, drag it to your timeline on top of your video. 
  • Increase the noise on Effects control by whoever much you want
  • Go to 'Colour' and play around with the colour to whatever shade you want it, i made my footage look old fashioned and therefore focused on the yellow tones. 
  • Once you've decided on the colour you want, go back to your Media browser and ctrl + right click on the mouse and got to New item> adjustment layer> and change the Timebase to 24.000fps and the Pixel aspect ration to Squar pixels (1.0)

            



    It took me a couple of tries to achieve this and honestly it is so useful and just amazing for making old footage. This is my last tutorial I'm afraid, I'm moving on to my next piece of work which I will tell you about once I come back from the half term. Thank you for reading my blog, I hope it has helped you with your editing skills.
